I'd call that fairly precise targeting.

So would I. There was no need to target a dairy manufacturer.

How do you know what was needed to be targeted? How do you know that it wasn't making bombs or storing missiles or a headquarters of Hezzbollah? You sure do see a lot from so far away. Please give me your optometrists name, I will see him immediately.

OK, I'll play your game. ...

"since six precision-guided bombs targeted the dairy's processing plant on July 19"

How does the reporter know that six PRECISION GUIDED munitions hit the plant. Did he/she see parts of the guidance systems?

If you are looking to punish the host of a terrorist organization, there's one reason to target local industry.

Perhaps the 'processing plant' held other items of interest.

Maybe the FAC was just stupid and lased the wrong building ... 6 times.

I dunno.

You don't put a pilot and aircraft in harm's way SIX TIMES unless you are hitting what you truly believe to be a high value target. One bomb would have shut down the plant. Six to me means they were after something. IMHO.
